Many texts are multimodal, where
meaning is communicated through
combinations of two or more modes.
Modes include written language, spoken
language, and patterns of meaning that
are visual, audio, gestural, tactile and
spatial.

Multimodal is the combination of two or

more of these modes to create meaning.

be printed which includes
picture books, text books,
graphic novels, comics and
posters, where meaning is
conveyed to the reader

written language and
spatial modes.
